Breaking into top-tier Applied Scientist and MLE roles requires more than just coding skills—it requires deep statistical intuition and the engineering maturity to take models to production.
I am an Applied Scientist with 6+ years of industrial experience and a 14-year background in statistical modeling and advanced analytics. I specialize in helping professionals bridge the gap between 'running experiments' and building scalable, production-grade AI systems (including LLMs and Generative AI).
I primarily mentor aspiring Applied Scientists, Data Scientists and MLEs who want to:
Crack the Interview: Master the specific, high-bar loops for Applied Scientist and MLE roles—focusing on ML System Design, GenAI/LLM concepts, and statistical fundamentals.
Transition to Applied Science and Engineering: Move from pure analytics/research into building end-to-end production pipelines.
Deepen Technical Skills: Go beyond the basics of model training into advanced fine-tuning, system architecture, and real-world deployment strategies.
